Moon Dance
A coy moon glides in a lively
Viennese waltz
Across a sky of billowing
petticoat clouds
A flowing, triple time, closed
step, pausing halt.
A ballerina basking in the glow
of appreciative crowds....

When My Lovely Woman Comes To Me
She comes stepping
rippling
on the streets
with her hair
To the wind...
She comes softly
as a Viennese waltz...
With her legs
of dream, she moves
in my imagination...
With her nutrient feelings
she comes to me
to feed my dreams...!...

I Could Dance
I could dance
if you want to take a chance
I could waltz viennese
if it was just you and me
I'd step on your toes
with a slip and slide
along the floor tonight to prove I am alive
just don't laugh if we're centerstage
my hips and feet may not engage
never blend to the music played
the walk and swish and a little sashay
but I could try
only if it's you and I
hold you in my arms and glide
I could dance in time
but as you will find,
I lie.

Leonard Cohen Translation
"And I'll dance with you in Vienna,
I'll be wearing a river's disguise.
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
my mouth on the dew of your thighs.
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
with the photographs there and the moss.
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty,
my cheap violin and my cross.
"Take This Waltz", a
translation by Leonard Cohen of
the poem "Little Viennese Waltz"
by Federico García Lorca.
"
— Leonard Cohen (Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs)...

Touched By Your Flame
Perfect stranger!
Admiring glances across the hall
A hand stretched with a smile so charm
Inviting to waltz this gorgeous night
I delightfully glided to the handsome knight,
Two flamingos waltzing round and round
My first Viennese Waltz this memorable night
Touched by your flame bewitching beau!
My eternal partner!...
